New around these forums, but what if we had something based on Kuchisake-onna? She's a japanese urban legend, but it could be localized and made so you don't need to know the legend. t think it could be scary. Also I think an icon based on a doctor/nurse (since a lot of people have a fear of needles) could be cool.

I don't understand why people think supernatural icons are worthy of anything. Serial killers are the only legitimately decent form of an icon. They can happen and real life. Hell, John Wayne Gacy was a massive inspiration to many clown killers in horror. Plus, your idea would never translate well to American markets.

True. I guess it doesn't really have to be based on the legend. Maybe have a doctor/nurse wearing a surgical mask and carries a large syringe? Lots of people have a fear of needles. You could even have the cut mouth thing still, and it wouldn't have to be a supernatural being.

I would love (also) for H.R. Bloodingutz to be an icon and have a whole theme of 70's/80's monster vision type show (ala Sven Ghoolie). He was such a cool chararter I would love for them to use him in an icon role.... of course I can hear people hear bitching about for 8 months ad nauseum.

The Geisha. I always have been hoping for some high Asian theme to occur at HHN. I kinda envision a commercial like Bloody Mary's that she is putting on her make-up in some dark dingy place and the red lip make-up drop like blood and she is like Lady Luck/Nightingale and has the gorgeous side to lure in unsuspecting victims then turns into the monster version .... maybe she is a head Nightingale? Then I def want her to have a house with some traditional Japanese settings and temples and etc.

This is more of a dream scenario than what I think they would actually do.
